Online Early Childhood Education Degree Programs

Early childhood (from birth until age 10) represents an extremely critical time during which formative learning, skill building, and social growth take place. Children who have successfully mastered these areas are much better equipped to navigate their way through the academic and societal rigors that confront all students and professionals later in life. This is why schools, families, and local governments place such a heavy premium on early childhood education degree programs.

Thanks to Internet technology, many of these programs have gone online, thus offering you greater convenience and flexibility as you work towards an associate, master, or doctorate diploma. These degrees will qualify you to work in a variety of career settings ranging from childcare worker, preschool through elementary school teacher, instructional developer, and special education instructor.

No program can guarantee starting salaries after graduation, but according to the US Department of Labor, the median salary for preschool-kindergarten teachers was approximately $42,000 in 2004. But as social sciences, educational research, and more government funding continue to shed light on the numerous benefits associated with early childhood education, it's likely that this median salary will rise more quickly than income estimates for other occupations. Another factor that might help fuel salary increases is the changing dynamics of the modern household. Because parents are working longer hours, greater emphasis must be placed on childcare providers and early childhood education.

"In the past decade or so, the women's magazines have taken to running home-handyperson articles suggesting that women can learn to fix things just as well as men.
These articles are apparently based on the ludicrous assumption that men know how to fix things, when in fact all they know how to do is look at things in a certain squinty-eyed manner, which they learned in Wood Shop;
eventually, when enough things in the home are broken, they take a job requiring them to transfer to another home."

-- Dave Barry
